The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a beige border and a central design on a white background. The central design has three vertical panels. The left and right panels have a repeating pattern of blue and brown designs, featuring buildings and people. Between the left and right panels is a wider panel with blue and brown designs, also featuring buildings and people. The borders on either side of the three panels consist of repeating blue and brown squares, some with blue floral designs, others with orange floral designs. The beige border around the fabric is slightly darker at the corners and has a textured appearance.
